Here are the weights as measured by me today:

$69 Kindle 4B/5 naked: 168 g
$69 Kindle 4B/5 with official lighted cover: 313 g
PaperWhite 1 3G: 220 g
PaperWhite 1 3G with official case: 355 g

PaperWhite 2 is 6 grams lighter than PW1 and 3G looses 9 grams according to specs, so PW2 Wi-Fi with official case: 340 g
Good to know.

You want heavy hold the KFHD with official cover, and the Kindle DX with official cover. I lean any of them on a pillow when I read in bed anyway, the weight is not as important too me as ease of use and viewability or readability (are these even words?).

I am trying to find Gaffers tape or black cardboard for when the lighted cover gets here, as I know I will need it.
